Question 1

What does a mobile mechanic in Tralee charge for a callout?

Accepted Answer

Mobile mechanic callout fees in Tralee typically run €40–€80 for standard weekday attendance. Hourly rates are approximately €60–€90. Some mechanics offer fixed prices for common jobs: battery replacement €100–€180 all-in, oil and filter service €70–€130. Always confirm the callout fee and whether it is included in or added to the repair cost before the mechanic arrives.

Question 2

How quickly can a mobile mechanic reach me in Tralee?

Accepted Answer

Many mobile mechanics in Tralee can attend within a few hours for non-emergency jobs. For urgent issues such as a vehicle that will not start, same-day attendance is often possible — call directly to confirm availability. Evening and weekend callouts typically carry a 30–60% surcharge over standard daytime rates.

Question 3

What jobs can a mobile mechanic do at my home in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Mobile mechanics can handle most jobs that do not require a vehicle lift or specialist workshop equipment: battery testing and replacement, oil and filter changes, brake pad replacement, OBD diagnostic scans, spark plug replacement, and pre-purchase vehicle inspections. Jobs requiring a lift — timing belt replacement, exhaust work, tyre fitting — need a garage.

Question 4

Does the mobile mechanic bring their own parts?

Accepted Answer

Most professional mobile mechanics in Ireland supply their own parts to control quality and stand behind the work. If you have sourced your own parts, confirm the mechanic will fit them before booking — not all operators accept this. Always get the agreed price in writing (a text message is sufficient) before work begins.

Question 5

Are mobile mechanics in Ireland insured?

Accepted Answer

A professional mobile mechanic working on your vehicle in your driveway should carry public liability insurance. Ask directly — most reputable operators confirm without hesitation. This matters if something goes wrong: a damaged driveway surface, a part fitted incorrectly, or an incident during a test drive.
